Dana Gardner: Hi, this is Dana Gardner, Principal Analyst at Interarbor Solutions, and you’re
listening to BriefingsDirect.
Self-awareness as an individual attribute provides the context to better understand others and to
find common ground. But what about self-awareness of entire generations?
Are those born before the mass appeal and distribution of digital technology able to make the
leap in their awareness of those who have essentially been Born Digital? Does the awareness
gap extend to an even more profound disconnect between how today’s younger generations
think and those more likely to be in the leadership positions in businesses?
Do the bosses really get their entry-level cohorts? And what, if any, impact has the COVID-19
pandemic had in amplifying these perception and cognition gaps?
Stay with us now as we explore new research into what makes the Born Digital generation tick.
And we’ll also unpack ways that the gap between those born analog and more recently can be
closed.
To learn more about the paybacks and advantages of understanding and embracing the Born
Digital Effect, please welcome Tim Minahan, Executive Vice President of Business Strategy and
Chief Marketing Officer at Citrix. Welcome, Tim.
Tim Minahan: Thanks for having me, Dana.
Gardner: We’re also here with Amy Haworth, Senior Director of
Employee Experience at Citrix. Welcome, Amy.
Amy Haworth: Thanks, Dana. It’s great to be here.
Gardner: Tim, your latest research into what makes those Born
Digital tick bucks conventional wisdom. Why did Citrix
undertake this research in the first place?
Minahan: This is the first generation to grow up in an entirely
digital world. In another decade or so, the success or failure of

businesses – the entire global economy -- will be in the hands of this Born Digital generation.
We wanted to get inside their heads to see what makes them tick. That helps us to help our
customers design their post-pandemic work environments and work models to best support the
needs of this emerging group of leaders.
The good news is that the Born Digital generation -- those born after 1997 – is primed to deliver
significant economic gains -- some $1.9 trillion in corporate profits. But there certainly were
some divergences in what they need to do that and how they view work.

Certainly, the pandemic has forever changed the way we all work, but it had a particularly
profound impact on the Born Digital generation. Many of them began or had their early careers
during the crisis. Remote and technology-driven work is all that they have ever known.
Organizations need to be aware of these scenarios as they plan for the future so as to not leave
out or disengage from this future generation of leaders.
The Born Digital difference
Gardner: Tim, like me, you were born analog. What surprised you most about this generation?
Minahan: Certain key findings debunked a lot of the myths around what motivates these
workers. Our research reveals a fundamental disconnect. First, job stability and work-life
balance are what matter most to these employees.
Largely faced with an uncertain job environment, these younger workers are most focused on
fundamental work factors like career stability and security. They also want to work in their own
way. So, they are looking for a good work-life balance and more flexible work models.
And this is poorly understood by leaders, who -- in the same research – showed that they think,
behind access to technology, the Born Digital generation values opportunities for training and
meaningful, impactful work. And, while those are important, they’re further down the list.
It turns out that job satisfaction, career stability and security, and a good work-life balance ranks
above compensation and the manager they work with.
And it’s become very clear -- business leaders overestimate
the appeal of the office. Ninety percent of Born Digital
generation employees do not want to return to the office full-
time post-pandemic. They prefer a more flexible or hybrid
model, which is in stark contrast to the leadership where 58
percent believe that young workers will want to spend most or
all their time working in an office. And this is a real Catch-22
that we’re all going to need to grapple with not years from now
but in the next few months.

Gardner: Amy, does the way companies misinterpret their employees mean we need an
employee experience reboot?
Haworth: After reading this research, I felt an overwhelming
sense of the importance of listening. That means getting really
curious, and not only curious at big moments, like returning to
the office or moving a vast number of employees out of offices -
- but getting curious all the time.
It was so clear to me that if we are designing employee
experience strategies around old assumptions, we’re missing
each other in the workplace. One of the frameworks for
employee experience we use heavily at Citrix is the idea that
experiences are built in the day-to-day moments. The
touchpoints that employees have in the human space, the
physical space, and the digital space. At Citrix, we have
rethought and rebooted our own experience, coming back into a
hybrid workplace, and built around the idea of trust and inclusivity.
And it’s interesting in this research how much trust in autonomy and in inclusivity emerged as
critical components for the Born Digitals. Interestingly, that seems to extend into other
generations as well. It became the framework for us and our approach to hybrid work -- a
philosophy -- and a way to build the infrastructure for that. We wanted to record and cultivate
trust in our own culture.
Work together, even when apart
Minahan: Visionary leaders are using this moment in time to rethink future of work models and
turn their work environments to competitive advantage. A growing number of our customers are
now trying to navigate through these situations in their post-pandemic work model planning.
One of the big topics is not just about where people work. I think there’s a false-positive that
some executives are doing with the belief that everyone wants to get back to the office full-time.
Because the initial burst of productivity has declined, they’re using the last 15 months as a proxy
for what remote work is.
Let’s be clear. The last year and a half has not been remote
work, it’s been remote isolation. There needs to be a deeper
level of understanding, as Amy said, as you move into your
planning of what truly motivates people. You need to truly
understand what’s going to attract the right talent and
importantly what’s going to engage them and allow them to be successful in driving the
business outcomes that you’re hoping for them to achieve.
Gardner: I find it not just a little ironic that we’re going to be seeking to better listen and better
communicate when we’re not together in an office. There may be an inability to see the trees for
the forest when you’re in the same office going through the same work patterns. Maybe
breaking that pattern leads to even better communication. Amy?
Haworth
Let’s be clear. The last
year and a half has not
been remote work, it’s
been remote isolation.

Haworth: I think you are spot-on, Dana. One of the metaphors I’ve come to love is the idea of
being at the ocean. If you’ve ever been anywhere where the tide comes in, at first you can’t see
certain things. Then as the tide goes back out, there are tide pools full of life and vibrancy. They
have been there all along, but you just couldn’t see them.
And that clearly emulates what is happening in
organizations. These opportunities around hybrid
work give us another chance to break the script.
It helps us discover pieces in our organizations
that may not have been working that great to
start with and were causing friction all along.
Distributed work is happening. We’re having to be more explicit about the conversations around
communication, collaboration, the expectations of each other, and what it means to help each
other. Raising up those things anew is so important no matter the setting, no matter the
workplace.
We’re now in a unique environment where we have this window of time to get very specific and
not take it for granted – but to rebuild with intention. I truly hope that organizations are smart
and do that with a concerted effort, with concerted energy, and then reap the rewards.
Distributed, diverse, dynamic workplaces for all
Minahan: Amy hits on two great points. One is there’s a real risk, as we move to hybrid work,
that we create a culture of unintentional biases for those office-first-focused folks who may be
conducting meetings or collaboration styles that preclude, or don’t include, folks working
remotely.
It isn’t just about having the right technology in place, it’s also about having the right policies in
place. The cultural aspects and expectations need to create a workplace that has inclusivity and
equality -- no matter where work is done. The reality is we are going to continue to work in a
very distributed mode, where certain team members won't all be in the same room.

You must harness technology, institute policies, and set the expectations that remote workers
are still active participants in the process and that information flows freely. That means investing
in collaborative work management solutions that create a secure digital collaboration
environment. These solutions align people around similar goals and objectives and key results
(OKRs) that have visibility into the status and into how projects are progressing, whether you’re
in the office or somewhere else.
By understanding the dependencies between the dispersed teams and other actions that need
to be done, you create the business outcomes you want. These are the types of tools and

policies that support the hybrid work environments that people are so desperately trying to
create right now.
Gardner: The last year and a half has given us an opportunity to change the playbook. What
we’re hearing from the younger generations is they’re not opposed to that. As we seek to best
change the playbook, what has the Citrix research told you?
Born free to choose how, where, and when to work
Minahan: We engaged with two external research partners on this, Coleman Parkes Research
and Oxford Analytica. They surveyed and did qualitative interviews with more than 1,000
business leaders and more than 2,000 knowledge workers across 10 countries. To prepare for
the future, it was very clear that leaders need to get a grip on the expectations and motivations
of this Born Digital generation and adapt their work models, workplaces, and work practices to
better cultivate them.
There were three primary findings. You should focus on where this generation wants to work.
Prepare them for success in distributed work environments. Companies need to give employees
freedom to choose where they work best.
To Amy’s point, it’s about fit and function. Sometimes it is important to come together in offices
for collaboration and social and cultural connections. For other forms of work, it is optimal for
individuals to have the space they need to think, be creative, and succeed. The Born Digital
cohort wants and needs that flexibility -- to have both work environments purpose-fit for the work
they need to get done.
Secondly, beyond where they work, the five-day work week that has vestiges of the industrial
revolution is probably not appropriate. Same for the 9 am to 5 pm workday. We’re finding that a
lot of folks need to take a break mid-day to recharge. So instead of thinking about one big block
of time, think about sub-blocks that allow workers to optimize the work-life balance and to
recharge. That drives the best energy to do your best work. And this is a very clear finding from
the study on how the Born Digital want to work.
The last part is about how they work. They want
autonomy and the opportunity to work in a high-
trust environment. They want to have the right
tools to have transparency, collaborate, and
drive connectivity with their co-workers and
peers -- even if they’re not physically in the room
together. They want compensation that
recognizes and rewards performance, as well as strong and visible leadership.
And so those are some of the key attributes that are important as companies design their new
work models.
Gardner: Amy, we’re now talking about things like trust and motivation. It seems to me that
those are universally important, whether you’re born with digital technology or not.
They want to have the right tools to
have transparency, collaborate, and
drive connectivity with their co-
workers and peers – even if they’re
not physically in the room together.

of 13
Why does the digital technology generation have a stronger concept around trust and
motivation? Is there a connection between being Born Digital and those intrinsic-but-profound
values?
Haworth: Think about how these Born Digital knowledge workers have come into the
workforce. Most have had some level of college education. They were used to being very
autonomous university students as they figured out their activity-based work habits. How do
they get the most done? Where does work happen best -- in the library, or in their dorm rooms,
or apartments?
The transition into an office is simply another step in developing a capability that they’ve been
building for years. And so, if organizations are not leading with trust, transparency, autonomy,
and allowing the digital tools they’ve come to expect and leverage in their educational path, that
feels like there’s a massive disconnect. They’re not only undoing some of the amazing self-
leadership that these Born Digitals have grown within themselves, but organizations are also
depriving themselves of rethinking the ideas that the Born Digital generation is coming up with.

Flexibility, Choice, and Autonomy.

Productive Workforce.
They are more accustomed than some of their predecessor generations to having seniority
when it comes to using digital tools. And as we take an opportunity to flip our mindset, most of
the time business leaders with more seniority are thinking, “Well, we have to groom this next
generation of leaders.”
We may want to flip that mindset. Instead, think about how this new generation of leaders can
groom the current leadership through things like reverse-mentorships or by sharing their voices.
A manager with a team that includes Born Digitals can ask for their input and give permission
for them to help shape the future of work together.
The organizations that do so are going to be
much more well-suited to the economic benefits
of this talent, as Tim highlighted at the beginning.
It’s latent talent until we unlock it. It will take a
conscious decision of leadership to think about
how they can we best learn from this generation.
They have a whole lot of things to teach us from
what they envision as the future of work.
Increase your communication app-titude
Minahan: Amy brings up a good point that showed up in the research. That is dissonance
between what older workers and leaders perceive as their experience and that of the Born
Digital generation. That gap extends to both in the tools they use to do their work, as well as on
how they communicate.
It will take a conscious decision of
leadership to think about how they
can best learn from this [Born Digital]
generation. They have a whole lot of
things to teach us from what they
envision as the future of work.

On the technology side, for example, young workers and leaders inhabit very different digital
worlds. The research found that only 21 percent of business leaders use instant messaging
apps such as Slack or WhatsApp for work, as compared with 81 percent of Born Digital
employees.
If you want to build trust and communication, it’s very hard if you are not hanging out in the
same places. Similarly, only 26 percent of business leaders like using these apps for work
compared to 82 percent of the Born Digitals. Clearly, there are very different work habits and
work tools that the Born Digitals prefer. As leaders look to cultivate, engage with, and recruit
these Born Digital workers, they are going to need to understand what tools to use to
communicate to foster the next generation of leaders.
Haworth: That statistic also caught my eye; that 26 percent of business leaders like using these
apps for work compared with 82 percent of Born Digital workers. Every organization that I have
spoken with in my career, honestly, but especially in the last 36 months, has talked about how
hard it is to get messages out into the organization. And when you step back and say, “Well,
how are you trying to communicate that message?” Oftentimes what I hear is a company
intranet or email.
If we take something as incredibly important as communication and think about what could be
applied from this data to specific segments -- to communication, to leadership, to recruiting --
this becomes a really salient point and very relevant for the planning and strategy of how to best
reach these workers.
In the employee experience space, one of the
key ideas is not everybody is the same.
Employee experience is built around
personalization. Much of this research data is
rich with aligning a strategy to personalize the
experience for the Born Digitals for both their
own benefit as well as the benefit of the
organization. If people only take one thing from
this report, to me that could be it right there.
Minahan: Yes, we could fill up a whole list of Slack conversations with that topic, absolutely!
Gardner: It strikes me that there is a propensity for these younger workers to naturally innovate.
If you give them a task, they are ready and willing to figure out how to do it on their own. Older
workers wait around to be told how to do things.
I wonder if this innovation propensity in the younger workers is an untapped, productivity boom,
and that allowing people to do things their own way -- as long as the job gets done -- is a huge
benefit to all.
Innovation Generation easily integrates AI, ML
Minahan: I think you are onto something there. With the do-it-yourself or YouTube generation,
you see it in your own children, they teach themselves or find ways to figure things out --
whether it’s a math problem or a hobby.
This research data is rich with aligning
a strategy to personalize the
[employee] experience for the Born
Digitals for both their own benefit as
well as the benefit of the organization.

Amy mentioned earlier the importance of reverse-mentoring, and that’s no joke. We first talked
about it as teaching the older generation how to use technology. But there is a best-practice-
sharing benefit as applies to solving problems, of how to constantly adapt, and continue to
learn. That reverse mentoring, whether it’s formal or informal, has a real big opportunity to lift all
boats.
Gardner: As these folks innovate, we also now have the means to digitally track what they are
doing. We can learn, on a process basis through the data, what works better, which allows us to
improve our processes constantly and iteratively. Before, we were all told how to do things. We
did it, and then we redid it, and not much changed.
Is there an opportunity here to create a new business style combining the data-driven capability
to measure what people are doing as well as having them continue to do it in an experimental
fashion?
Haworth: Yes, there is now an amazing opportunity to think about how machine learning (ML)
and artificial intelligence (AI) can become a guide. As the data fuels insights, those insights can
help make workers more effective and potentially far more productive.
When I think of reverse-mentoring, I not only would love to have a Born Digital mentor me on
technology, but I also wouldn’t mind having an AI coach tap into places where I’m missing
things. They could intervene and help me find a better way, to guide my work, or to think about
who else might be interested in this topic. That could fuel an interesting discussion and help me
make connections within my organization.

The Born Digital generation also specified in the Citrix report how distinct their experiences are
when it comes to building new connections within organizations. Technology can play a role in
that, not only by removing friction to give us time to connect with other human beings, but to
also guide us to where those connections might be productive ones. And by productive, I don’t
necessarily mean only output, but where it leads to idea generation, further innovation, scaling,
and to creating coalitions and influence that lead to desirable outcomes.
Minahan: The world is moving so quickly today. Technology is advancing at such a rapid pace;
it’s changing how we engage and do business. The growth-hack skillset for the individual career
right now is those who can continuously learn and quickly adapt. That’s going to be critical.
We think the Born Digital generation has a lot to offer on that front, and they can teach the entire
culture to support that. As Amy said, then augmenting that culture with AI or ML and other tools
so that it becomes an institutional upgrade in skills, knowledge, and best-practice-sharing -- so
that everyone is absolutely performing at their best and everyone can begin to see around
corners and adapt much quicker -- that’s what’s going to create the high-performing, curious,
and growth-oriented organizations of the future.

Gardner: How do we now take this research into action? How do we move from the observation
that there is an awareness and perceptions gap -- and maybe $1.9 trillion at stake -- and go
about self-evaluating and changing?
Listen completely to learn and lead
Haworth: Number one for me is to listen. And listening is hard for some. It requires time, but I
will advocate that it doesn’t take a lot of time.
I have a little game to offer everyone. It’s called 5 for 5, which means talk to five people with five
questions, and ask those five questions to all of them. Don’t defend. Don’t explain. Just get
genuinely curious -- and start with your Born Digitals. Most organizations have an easy way for
leaders to find them. They might be on your team. They might be your kids, your nieces, your
nephews, or a neighbor down the street. But spend a little bit of time just listening.
And from those five people, we know you are likely to find some themes, just those five
conversations. And then put it on your calendar to do that at least once a quarter. These are the
most interesting opportunities leaders have to inform strategy, to think about what’s next, and to
learn something about a person that they may never have known before.
We recently went through a cycle of this internally at Citrix as part of our hybrid philosophy
building and to help develop the capabilities and tools we need in the organization for teams to
be effective. I happened to be aligned to interview our Born Digital segment. Most of them were
fairly new in their careers, and some had started during COVID.
My favorite question was, “If you were a manager right now, what would you be focused on?”
Across the board, each of these interviewees, employees at our organization, said, “I would be
very clear on what’s expected as far as working hours and when it’s okay to log off.”
That insight alone was validated in the research. Not only is this generation looking for job
stability and security, but they are also very likely to not be the ones to ask for permission. They
are looking around to figure out what’s okay and not okay.
We need to be clear about helping them define
boundaries and to model those boundaries because
Born Digital doesn’t mean born burnt out. We want
to be sure that we keep the engagement, curiosity,
innovation, creativity, and energy that the Born
Digital population brings into organizations. We need to help them be successful by developing
a sustainable pattern for work.
Gardner: Tim, how do you see us closing the gap in the near term?
Keep it simple, reduce the daily din
Minahan: The convergence of the digital workspace demands tools that facilitate open and
equitable collaboration and transparency across teams, whether they are in the office or working
remotely. That includes driving continuous learning and best-practice-sharing and achieving

better business outcomes together. The physical workplace needs to be fitted for purpose when
is it important to come together, when we do benefit from that, whether it’s for collaborative
projects or the social aspects, such as for creating that water-cooler dynamic.
As Amy just mentioned, which I think is so critically important, the ultimate success in this is
going to require how you transition your culture. How do you make it okay for people to turn off
in this always-connected world? How do you set norms on how we create an equitable,
inclusive workplace for those that work in the office and those who work remotely?
Amy has put in place here at Citrix a very good framework. Similar to that, we are advising our
customers to triangulate between a Venn diagram of creating the right digital workplace,
coupling it with the right purpose-built workspace, and then enabling it all with common policies
and culture that foster equality, inclusiveness and focus on business outcomes.
Gardner: Is there something about the way technology itself has been delivered into the
marketplace by vendors, including Citrix, that also needs to change? When we talk about
culture, behavior, and motivations, that’s not the way that technology has been shaped and
delivered. Is there a lesson from this research?
The Born Digital Generation is the Future
Of Work and Success.

Haworth: Great employee experiences are shaped by empowerment of employees at a very
personal level. When technology guides and automates work experiences to free the person up
from the noise, the friction, of having to log-in to multiple tools, to context switch -- all of that
creates a draining effect on a human. The technology is now positioned to remove that friction
by letting technology do what technology does best, which is to automate, guide, and organize
based on personal preferences.
New innovations from platforms such as Citrix help unite work all in one place to simplify tasks
for the employee. It means there is more that the employee doesn’t have to think about. It’s
seamless. That quality of interaction is a key lever in creating positive employee experiences,
which lead to engagement and commitment to an organization in a world that is fraught right
now with finding talent, with fighting attrition, and cultivating the right talent to innovate into the
future. All of these elements really matter, and technology has a big role to play.
Gardner: It sounds like automation is another word we should be using. We talked about using
ML and AI to help, but the more you can automate, even though that sounds in conflict with
allowing people to be flexible, is important.
Minahan: Amy hit the nail on the head. It is about automating and guiding employees, but it’s
also removing the noise from their day. The dirty little secret in business is each of these
individual tools that we have introduced into our workday on their own added productivity,
helping us do our jobs, but collectively they have created such a cacophony of noise and
distraction in our day, it’s actually frustrating employees.

If you think back to pre-pandemic, one of the dynamics was a Gallup study that showed
employees were more disengaged than at any other time in history. Some 86 percent of
employees felt they were disengaged at work because they were frustrated with the complexity
of the work environment, all the tools, the apps, and chat channels that were interrupting them
from doing their jobs. And that’s only been exacerbated throughout the pandemic as people
don’t even have a clearly defined beginning and end to their days. And so it continues.
One of the things we need to be
thinking about as technologists, as we
introduce technology or we build
solutions, is how do you mute this
noise? How do you automate some of
the mundane tasks so that employees
don’t need to switch context every two
seconds? How do you create a unifying
workspace that allows them to have
access to all the tools, all the apps, all the content, all the business services they need to get
their job done without needing to remember multiple passwords and go everywhere else?
And how do you begin to literally use things like AI and ML to guide them through their day,
presenting them with the right information at the right time, not all the information, allowing them
to execute tasks without needing to navigate multiple different environments? Then, how do you
create a collaborative workspace that is equitable and provides transparency and a common
place for folks to align around common goals, execute against projects, understand the status,
no matter whether they are working in an office in a conference room together or are distributed
to all corners of the globe?
Gardner: For those older leaders or younger entrants into the workspace who want to learn
more about this research, how can they? And what comes next for Citrix research?
Define and design the future of work
Minahan: Anyone can find this research available on citrix.com. This research effort, as well
as future research efforts, are part of an initiative we took together with academia, research
organizations, and governments starting well over a year ago called the Work 2035 Project to
try to understand the skills, organizational structures, and role technology plays in shaping the
future of work. The only difference is the future of work is arriving a heck of a lot faster than any
of us ever expected.
The next big event is that we are hosting a thought leadership event that will be based in part on
the latest research effort in October, a virtual summit we are calling Fieldwork, where we are
going to bring together some of the industry thought leaders around the topic of how the future
of work is evolving and have an open dialogue, and we will be providing more information on
that as we get closer.
Gardner: Amy, for those organizations that may have learned more about the employee
experience function of governance, leadership, and management, what advice do you have for
organizations should they be interested in setting up an employee experience organization?
How do you create a unifying workspace that
allows [employees] to have access to all the
tools, all the apps, all the content, all the
business services they need to get their job
done without needing to remember multiple
passwords and go everywhere else?

Haworth: First, I say congratulations to those organizations for investing and taking the time to
invest in understanding what employee experience means in the context of their particular
desire for business outcomes and in their particular culture.
Citrix published this year some very helpful research around the employee experience operating
model. It can be found on citrix.com in the Fieldwork section. I personally have leveraged this in
setting up some of the key pillars of our own philosophy and approach to employee experience.
It is deep and it will also be a great springboard for moving forward with establishing both a
mindset and some practices and programs leading to exceptional stronger employee
experiences.

Gardner: I’m afraid we’ll have to leave it there. You have been listening to a sponsored
BriefingsDirect discussion on a disconnect between how today’s younger generation thinks and
those in leadership positions in businesses.
And we have learned how the paybacks and advantages of understanding and embracing the
Born Digital Effect can be a large and differentiating benefit to those organizations savvy
enough to gain the self-awareness to embrace the clearly different perceptions of those Born
Digital.
So a big thank you to our guests, Tim Minahan, Executive Vice President of Business Strategy
and Chief Marketing Officer at Citrix. Thanks so much, Tim.
Minahan: Thanks, Dana. I enjoyed the conversation.
Gardner: And we have been here with Amy Haworth, Senior Director of Employee Experience
at Citrix. Thank you so much, Amy.
Haworth: Thank you.
Gardner: And a big thank you as well to our audience for joining this BriefingsDirect future of
work innovation discussion. I’m Dana Gardner, Principal Analyst at Interarbor Solutions, your
host throughout this series of Citrix-sponsored BriefingsDirect discussions.
Thanks again for listening, please pass this along to your business associates, and do come
